Overview

This is an annotation that will create a button and give you the option for that button to redirect a user to add in-player downloads, links to shopping carts or other videos, surveys, and more. Vidyard annotations are incredibly flexible, giving you the power to customize them for just about any use you can dream up.

With the example below, the annotation will redirect you to your calendar page.

Solution

In the Vidyard Platform click Content and select Players

Hover over the player to which you want to add the event, then click Events

Select + New Event

Select Annotation and click Add Event

In the Event Builder, click the HTML button and replace the existing code with the example provided at the bottom of this article.

Configure the section -</style><div class="calendar-signup"><form><h3>Want to learn more?</h3>Note: This configuration will allow you to rename the text above the button.

Configure the section -<a target="_blank" id="calendar" href="[Paste calendar URL here]/">Note: Paste the URL of where you would like to redirect the user when they click the button

Configure the section -<input type="button" value="Book a Call" name="calendar"/>Note: This configuration will rename the text of the button

Set the Skippable toggle to OFF and the Published toggle to ON

Set the annotation time to as long as you desire it to show on the player.
